We also have a $4 dollar a month package that gets you early access and an ad free listening experience!====================In this episode of The Prometheus Lens Podcast, Doc Brown sits down with Ryan Pelton of The Ryan Files to talk about his upcoming book, his journey from entertainment to podcasting, and why the “alien” conversation keeps circling back to something deeper: theology, truth, and the nature of reality.Ryan shares how a childhood fascination with UFOs, years in the entertainment world, and a turning-point trip to Peru helped shape the direction of his work. The conversation explores soft disclosure, Genesis 6, the spiritual framework behind the phenomenon, and why so many modern alien narratives raise questions about the gospel, deception, and the end times.Doc and Ryan also dig into how Christians can engage these topics without fear, why open dialogue matters more than outrage, and how curiosity can become a doorway to meaningful conversations about faith.If you're interested in UFOs, biblical worldview, disclosure, ancient mysteries, or the intersection of theology and modern culture, this episode is for you.Timestamps:0:00 Intro1:45 Welcome to The Prometheus Lens Podcast3:22 Ryan Pelton's story5:13 The journey into podcasting and Genesis 614:31 Writing a book on aliens and occult themes17:53 A 12-point test for evaluating alien theories25:48 Fallen angels, interdimensional beings, and more33:14 Lou Elizondo, disclosure, and biblical framing55:30 Why disclosure may be happening now66:44 Ryan's book, The Ryan Files, and where to find him====================Find Ryan Pelton:YouTube: youtube.com/@theRyanFilesWebsite: theryanfiles.com====================

In this episode of the Open Bedroom Podcast, I welcome back Melissa Louise, a certified erotic blueprint coach, to explore "fully charged primal sex." We dive into the biological and evolutionary roots of male and female sexuality, including why men are naturally silent during sex, how prolactin causes post-ejaculation sleepiness, and why women have greater orgasmic capacity. Melissa also explains sperm competition, menstrual health, and sexual transmutation techniques for men. She introduces her six-week program, Fully Charged, designed to help men build sexual stamina, emotional depth, and deeper partner connection.What is Primal Sex? (00:03:02)Melissa Louise defines primal sex, linking it to survival instincts, our subconscious brain, and deep, raw hunger and desire.Why Men are Silent During Sex (00:05:41)An evolutionary explanation for why men are naturally silent during sex to avoid predators and competition from other males.The Role of Prolactin in Men (00:09:07)Discussion on the hormone prolactin, which makes men sleepy after ejaculation to prevent conflict with subsequent partners for the woman.Female Vocalization and Orgasms (00:10:01)Women are wired to be vocal and have multiple orgasms to attract more partners during their short fertility window.The Egg Chooses the Sperm (00:15:34)Melissa explains that the egg selects the fittest sperm from multiple partners, challenging the idea of sperm choosing the egg.Societal Views on Multiple Partners (00:19:31)A discussion on modern cultural narratives around sexual ownership versus historical community-based lovemaking and the nature of jealousy.Why Women Need More Sex Than Men (00:24:00)Women have a higher orgasmic capacity than men, suggesting their biological need for sex is greater than culturally believed.The Impact of Modern Life on Women's Health (00:25:29)How modern stress and societal pressures negatively affect women's menstrual cycles and lead to a difficult menopause experience.The Power of the Menstrual Cycle (00:30:14)Exploring the spiritual and biological power of menstruation, including DMT release and its historical significance in tribal communities.The Female Orgasmic Experience (00:37:43)The hosts discuss the intense, high-like feeling women experience from multiple orgasms, which is linked to DMT release.How Men Can Have Non-Refractory Orgasms (00:40:37)Melissa reveals that men can experience continuous, non-refractory orgasms through prostate stimulation, similar to a woman's G-spot orgasm.Building a Man's Capacity for Pleasure (00:43:18)Men can be trained to hold more pleasure and separate orgasm from ejaculation, leading to better health and business success.Introduction to the "Fully Charged" Program (00:46:17)Melissa introduces her live training program for men, designed to teach them how to control ejaculation and enhance pleasure.What the "Fully Charged" Program Covers (00:55:29)A detailed breakdown of the six-week program, including practical techniques, shadow work, and learning about female arousal maps.Follow Melissa Louise:WEBSITEFULLY CHARGEDSUbstackINstagram"The Seminal Spirits" are the fire sung by poets having been stolen from the gods by Prometheus.Pierre Louis MoreauThe Earthly Venus.Semen is the most fined & noblest part of the whole human frame containing in itself the whole nature & complexion of every part of the body : or in other words, being the essence of man.Nicolas Venette17th Century physician, sexologist & writer.
"It is quite generally recognized that psychology has remained in the semi-mythological, semi-scholastic period longer than most attempts at scientific formulization. For a long time it has been the "spook science" per se, and the imagination, now analyzed by M. Ribot in such a masterly manner, has been one of the most persistent, apparently real, though very indefinite, of psychological spooks. Whereas people have been accustomed to speak of the imagination as an entity sui generis, as a lofty something found only in long-haired, wild-eyed "geniuses," constituting indeed the center of a cult, our author, Prometheus-like, has brought it down from the heavens, and has clearly shown that imagination is a function of mind common to all men in some degree, and that it is shown in as highly developed form in commercial leaders and practical inventors as in the most bizarre of romantic idealists. The only difference is that the manifestation is not the same." - Albert H. N. Baron, in translator's preface to Essai sur l'imagination créatrice.Translated by Albert H. N.

Когда у тебя 3 миллиарда семплов в секунду, 60 гигабайт логов и 44 миллиона спанов — ты уже не «настраиваешь мониторинг», ты его пишешь с нуля. В гостях Владимир Гордийчук, CTO Yandex Monium — системы наблюдаемости, которая выросла внутри Яндекса, а теперь доступна как отдельный продукт. 9 лет разработки, большая часть кодовой базы написана лично, и чёткое понимание, почему Prometheus + Grafana — это не всегда ответ. Кто: Владимир Гордийчук — CTO Yandex Monium Что обсудим: Зачем писать свой мониторинг, когда есть Prometheus, Grafana и ELK 3 млрд семплов/сек — какие архитектурные подходы позволяют держать такие нагрузки Сколько стоит мониторить всё — и как это обосновать перед менеджментом Alert fatigue: когда алертов столько, что на них перестают смотреть, и что с этим делать Кто мониторит мониторинг, когда мониторинг падает Самые запоминающиеся инциденты — и почему после них мониторинг стал другим Рекомендации, которые можно внедрить уже завтра Для тех, кто хочет мониторить, а не тонуть в дашбордах и ложных срабатываниях.

Charlize Theron has never been one to shy away from genre mayhem, and by 2026 she's practically the patron saint of stylish cinematic chaos. From The Devil's Advocate to Prometheus to Mad Max: Fury Road, she's battled demons, aliens, and post‑apocalyptic warlords — so naturally her next move was to wander into the Australian wilderness for Netflix's APEX. Released on April 24th, 2026, it's the kind of film where you can practically feel the sunburn and existential dread radiating through the screen, and your cohosts have bravely volunteered to trek through it.Rotten Tomatoes keeps things succinct: “A grieving woman testing her limits in the Australian wilderness is suddenly ensnared in a deadly game with a ruthless predator.” Which is a polite way of saying, “Charlize Theron goes camping and immediately regrets it.” The setup promises equal parts emotional turmoil and tooth‑and‑claw terror — the cinematic equivalent of a nature retreat brochure that forgets to mention the part where something might try to eat you.Directed by Baltasar Kormákur and written by Jeremy Robbins, APEX also features Taron Egerton, who apparently decided to steal every scene not nailed down. With a budget floating somewhere between $60–$80M USD, critics have been shrugging in polite confusion while audiences shrug a little harder. Joined by actor Dan Lench of MaXXXine fame, your cohosts dive into this survival‑horror outing and share their thoughts — hopefully without getting metaphorically mauled in the process.

#356: Fleet management means one thing to a DevOps engineer and something completely different to Tomas Kovacovsky. To Viktor it is a CD problem - a fleet of Kubernetes clusters he would rather not babysit. To Tomas it is hundreds of physical robots rolling around a warehouse, picking orders, dodging each other, and working very hard not to lose their connectivity. Tomas is the CTO of Brightpick, where the robots are not the kind you yell at for bumping into a chair. They are three-meter-tall autonomous pickers - some telescoping up to six - that find their way using lidar, recognize items with neural networks, and make their own decisions the second the network drops. Here is the part that will feel oddly familiar: everything you already do to ship software shows up again in the physical world. Canary rollouts. Rollbacks to the last good config. Prometheus scraping every robot, Grafana for the fleet. Logs, metrics, traces. Split brain, when a robot and the server disagree about what just happened. Even a flaky robot - one that feels off with no error to point at - gets diagnosed the same way you would hunt a flaky test: compare it against the rest of the population and find the outlier. A warehouse full of robots, running like a distributed system. The stack is what you would guess and also not. C++ on the robots for speed, Python on the backend, Kubernetes on an edge server inside the warehouse because latency matters down to the millisecond, and Git as the source of truth - the on-site servers check for differences and update themselves. GitOps, for robots. Then it gets bigger. The optimal pick speed, Tomas says, is infinity - right up until you try to pick an egg. The real bottleneck was never the picking, it was the traveling, so Brightpick moves the picking into the aisles instead of hauling totes back to a station. He also drops a prediction worth chewing on: the intelligence arrives before the dexterity. Machines will think their way around a warehouse long before they can fish for keys in a bag the way your hand does without looking. And the jobs question everyone braces for - the robot guys walking in, are you fearful for your job in 20 minutes - turns out the picker positions were mostly empty to begin with. Hundreds of thousands of them, unfilled. The takeaway for anyone writing software is the one Tomas lands at the end. The craft is getting eaten. What is left, and what actually matters, is whether you can connect the work to the product.

In this episode of Words That Burn, the poetry podcast dedicated to literary analysis and poetic interpretation, I sit down with Belfast poet Matthew Rice to discuss his new collection Plastic: a book-length poem mapped across a single night shift in an invented plastics factory. It's published by Fitzcarraldo Editions.Born from his PhD at the Seamus Heaney Centre, Queen's University Belfast, Plastic sits at a rare intersection in contemporary poetry: a deeply personal account of fifteen years working factory floors, fused with literary devices and techniques drawn from medieval romance, Gothic literature, and pop culture.We discuss the historical context behind the collection, tracing Rice's place within a tradition of working-class and "factory poets" like Philip Levine and Larry Levis, and explore how Sir Gawain and the Green Knight becomes a recurring avatar for the speaker's own quest through the night.This conversation doubles as a poetry education in itself, perfect whether you're new to contemporary poetry or already fluent in poetic analysis.We chat about:How timestamps and form mirror the malleability of plastic itselfThe Gothic undercurrents running through a hyper-modern, industrial settingLiterary allusion: from Wolverine comics to Kubrick's Gotham to Fassbender's Prometheus, and how pop culture deepens poetic meaningThe poet biography behind the book: Rice's journey from factory worker to MA and PhD in poetryA live reading of two poems from the collection, including the recurring Gawain sequenceWhether you're after rigorous poem discussion, a beginner-friendly entry point into poetry interpretation, or simply want to hear from one of the most original voices in Irish poetry and Global poets writing today, this episode of this poetry podcast offers a rich, accessible deep-dive into a genuinely singular collection.Follow Matthew Rice:On InstagramBuy His CollectionFollow the Podcast:Read the Interview on SubstackFollow the Podcast On InstagramFollow the Podcast on X/TwitterFollow the Podcast on TiktokFollow the podcast on BlueskyTime Stamps:00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:40 Inside the Book Plastic02:17 Factory Poetry Gap03:40 Molds and Poetic Form06:05 Long Poem in Sections07:38 Poetry as Escape11:23 Dream Time and Imagination12:34 Mapping Time on Shift16:19 Gawain on the Factory Floor19:47 Reading a Gawain Poem21:00 Reviews and New Meanings22:55 Pop Culture Allusions24:14 Fosse One Sentence Novel25:05 Wolverine And Prometheus27:37 Factory As Monster29:31 Kubrick City Character31:28 Flesh Meets Machine36:01 Gothic Hauntings And Swift38:12 Gotham Politics And Capital42:12 Prologue Ritual And Verbing45:54 Hidden Easter Egg Poem47:44 Final Thoughts And Thanks Hosted on Acast.

VivaTech rivalise désormais avec le CES • La souveraineté numérique révèle ses contradictions • L'affaire Anthropic réveille l'Europe • L'IA s'affiche optimiste malgré les craintes sur l'emploi • Les robots restent encore largement en apprentissage • La deep tech française montre ses forcesAvec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)VivaTech change de dimensionNous dressons le bilan de la dixième édition de VivaTech, devenue un rendez-vous international capable de rivaliser avec le CES par son ampleur, ses intervenants et la diversité des innovations présentées. Bruno souligne toutefois l'écart entre les chiffres annoncés, la visibilité offerte aux délégations étrangères et les retombées commerciales réellement obtenues.Une souveraineté numérique à double tranchantNous revenons sur l'omniprésence de la souveraineté technologique dans les allées du salon. La priorité donnée aux solutions françaises et européennes répond à une dépendance devenue préoccupante envers les États-Unis, mais elle risque aussi de fermer la porte à des partenaires comme le Canada, pourtant proches de l'Europe sur les plans économique et politique.L'Europe ne pourra pas avancer seuleNous défendons une souveraineté fondée sur la coopération plutôt que sur l'autarcie. Aucun pays ne dispose seul de toutes les infrastructures, des capacités industrielles et de la puissance de calcul nécessaires : la France, l'Allemagne, le Canada et d'autres partenaires doivent donc combiner leurs forces.Quand les géants américains se disent souverainsNous observons comment Microsoft et d'autres groupes américains adaptent leur discours en proposant des centres de données locaux, des services opérés en France et des dispositifs de contrôle renforcés. Leur argument est simple : la souveraineté doit rester compatible avec la compétitivité et l'accès aux technologies les plus performantes.Des IA adaptées aux cultures localesNous insistons sur un enjeu souvent négligé : l'entraînement des modèles dans les langues, les références et les réalités culturelles de chaque pays. Des modèles majoritairement façonnés par la culture américaine risquent de diffuser des biais et des représentations qui ne correspondent ni à l'Europe, ni au Canada, ni au Brésil.L'affaire Anthropic provoque un électrochocNous analysons la décision américaine ayant conduit Anthropic à suspendre ses modèles Fable 5 et Mythos 5 après des inquiétudes liées à leurs capacités en cybersécurité. Même si l'Europe n'était pas directement visée, l'épisode a démontré qu'une décision prise à Washington pouvait interrompre brutalement l'accès mondial à une technologie stratégique.L'optimisme de Jeff Bezos et Yann LeCunNous évoquons les interventions de Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Blue Origin et Prometheus, et de Yann LeCun, AMI Labs et New York University, qui ont défendu une vision moins alarmiste de l'intelligence artificielle. Face aux scénarios de suppressions massives d'emplois, ils mettent davantage l'accent sur la création d'activités, la productivité et le manque futur de main-d'œuvre.Des robots encore peu autonomesNous faisons le tour des humanoïdes présentés par Unitree, Agibot, Wandercraft ou Enchanted Tools. Derrière les démonstrations spectaculaires, beaucoup de machines restent téléopérées : le véritable défi consiste désormais à leur apprendre à comprendre leur environnement et à agir seules de manière fiable.Les robots vont-ils prendre nos emplois ?Nous estimons que la robotisation touchera d'abord les tâches pénibles, répétitives ou dangereuses. Comme lors des précédentes révolutions industrielles, certains métiers disparaîtront ou évolueront, ce qui rend indispensables la formation, la reconversion et l'accompagnement des travailleurs.Le luxe accélère dans l'IANous observons la place centrale de LVMH et de L'Oréal dans l'écosystème VivaTech. Au-delà de la vitrine, les groupes de luxe utilisent désormais l'intelligence artificielle pour le conseil, la relation client et la visibilité de leurs produits dans les assistants conversationnels, appelés à devenir de nouveaux prescripteurs.La deep tech française en première ligneNous mettons en avant la recherche menée par le CEA, Inria, le CNRS et Orange autour des agents d'intelligence artificielle et de leur interopérabilité. Ce travail de fond, moins spectaculaire que les démonstrations commerciales, constitue pourtant l'un des atouts les plus solides de l'écosystème français.Des innovations venues de plusieurs continentsNous soulignons la forte représentation du Canada, de l'Afrique et de l'Asie dans le salon. Bruno présente notamment Alexandre Triquet, Reveal Life Science, dont le dispositif d'analyse de tissus aide à détecter des cellules cancéreuses et a remporté l'OVHcloud Startup Challenge de VivaTech 2026.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
A viral Wall Street chart has kicked off a new round of AI bubble panic, but NLW argues the market is reading it wrong. The real story isn't collapsing demand — it's the shift from the token subsidy era to the token scarcity era, where companies are learning to route AI usage more efficiently. In the headlines: SpaceX's IPO, Bezos' Prometheus raise, Meta's Manus split, chip supply chain crunches, and Goldman's trillion-dollar AI infrastructure forecast.Check out the new https://aidailybrief.ai/Brought to you by:KPMG – Research from KPMG and the University of Texas at Austin shows the highest-impact AI users treat AI like a reasoning partner — and those skills can be taught at scale.

June 12, 2026: SpaceX made history with the largest IPO ever recorded, raising $75 billion in its NASDAQ debut and instantly becoming one of the most valuable companies in the United States. But under the hood, this isn't just a rocket company anymore. It's a bet on Starlink, reusable rockets, and xAI's massive AI infrastructure. Then I get into the first-ever appearance of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind leaders at the G7 Summit, and what it means when the most powerful AI companies in the world are now part of global policy conversations. Finally, I break down Jeff Bezos' $12 billion raise for Prometheus, a new company building an "artificial general engineer" that could reshape manufacturing, aerospace, pharma, defense, and the future of high-skill knowledge work.
Plus: Amazon says its data centers used 2.5 billion gallons of water last year. And Jeff Bezos launches new AI venture Prometheus while batting down AI job loss fears. Julie Chang hosts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber discussed a report from Iranian state media, which said Iran will consider all of Elon Musk's companies in the Middle East as military targets as it retaliates against the U.S. This comes one day before Musk's SpaceX is set to go public with a historic and massive IPO. The anchors reacted to Oracle shares taking a hit: The company's AI spending plans overshadowed a Q4 beat. In San Francisco, David previewed his interview with Jeff Bezos and Vik Bajaj, Co-CEOs and Co-Founders of AI startup Prometheus. KKR, Nvidia, Vistra and Kuwait Investment Authority have launched a new AI infrastructure company, Helix Digital Infrastructure. The CEO of Helix and a top executive at KKR joined the program to talk about it. Also in focus: Stocks try to rebound from Wednesday's sell-off, hotter-than-expected May PPI, a look back at SpaceX through the years.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Grapevine's Editor-in-Chief Bart Cameron, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: The Russian Spying Vessel Yuri Ivanov Within Iceland's Exclusive Economic ZoneSince a Nato exercise in the North-Atlantic in May, the Russian spying vessel Yuri Ivanov has been sailing within Iceland's 200 mile Oceanic Exlusive Economic Zone, and is now west of Iceland, which is highly unusual. The Icelandic coastguard has been watching the vessel and the Icelandic Foreign Ministry says it poses no threat. Around 70-80% Of Iceland's Farmsteads Do Not Engage In Traditional Farming The Agriculture University of Iceland held a seminar to discuss a new report on who owns farmland in Iceland. Around 600 farms are owned by estates of deceased farmer, and 13% of farms in Iceland are not in any use, while between 70-80% of farmland is generally not used for traditional farming. The report also points out that around 40 farms are owned by two foreign billionaires, one of which Jim Ratcliffe, is also the fourth largest holder of farmland in Iceland, behind the Icelandic state, municipalities and the Icelandic church. The report creates questions about whether or not current laws in Iceland on farms need modifications to deal with a changed reality in the use or - as in this case - the non-use, of farmland, and does actually suggest that changes should be made to the law to deal with specific aspects, such as unclear ownership, unclear use, foreign ownership, and better data collection with regards to use and ownership, citing numerous cases where such changes have been made in recent years in neighboring countries.Dettifoss Side Hiking Route ClosedNew research has revealed numerous fissures under one of the popular hiking routes from the west towards Iceland's (and the whole of Europe's) most powerful waterfall Dettifoss. Dettifoss is located in North-East Iceland, and is a popular tourist destination, made famous by its prominence in the opening sequence of Ridley Scott's 2012 film Prometheus. New research has revealed that the area is a fissure zone under a hiking route called Fosshvammur, and the route has been permanently closed. Other hiking routes on the west side of the river in which the waterfall is located are safe, and so is the viewing platform on that side of the river. Two Tourists On Bikes Rescued By SARS Teams In The HighlandsTow tourists who were attempting to bike a well known highland road in the southern highlands of Iceland had to be rescued by SARS teams, when snowmelts got the better of them. The Federation of Icelandic Industries Warns Of Increased Indebtedness In The Construction IndustryNot only that, the chair of the Icelandic Housing and Construction Authority says that apartments and neighborhoods have been planned for people that don't exist. Housing prices have fallen in real terms, the number of apartments for sale has increased, and it is taking longer to sell properties, especially new apartments. The outlook is dire.Bubbi Morthens 70th Birthday Concert Last WeekendBubbi played two shows for more than 10.000 people total in Laugardalshöll stadium this weekend. He dropped some comments between songs on inflation and said it was time to say either “yes” or “no”. While Bubbi didn't explicitly mention the upcoming referendum on restarting negotiations with the EU on accession, the crowd non the less booed his statement. A few songs later he talked about his dismay about the importation of politics to Iceland that targeted minorities, before launching into his 1984 hit “Strákarnir á Borginni”, and important song for championing gay rights in Iceland in the 1980s. No booing was heard following the latter statement.

We're reaching the biggies on the Prometheus now, as we look at its Captain, Janek.
In the 1870s, the age of artificial light was still in its infancy. Gas lamps cast a dim glow on city streets, and early arc lights were just beginning to appear in a handful of public spaces. But reliable, practical light for homes and businesses remained out of reach for most people. Then, in 1878, America's most famous inventor, Thomas Edison, witnessed a demonstration of a novel electric generator and had a spark of inspiration. Edison was convinced that he would be the one to harness electricity to illuminate the world. He set his sights on an audacious goal: not just to improve the light bulb, but to build a system capable of lighting an entire city. It was a vision that would demand years of relentless experimentation and push him to the brink of failure. And just as his system flickered to life, a new rival would emerge — one with a radically different vision of electricity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
